In the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, Maka won the undisputed first place.
When the scores of the four warriors were announced one by one, everyone looked like "it should be so", but the person involved, Maka, didn't pay attention to that at all.
Seeing that everyone was calm, Bagman shrugged boringly, and then continued what he had just said.
"...Then finally, of course, this is the content of the third project!" He revived his inner passion, waving his arms exaggeratedly and said, "First of all, this newly dug vertical hole has a diameter of 100 feet, and the deepest part will be 100 feet in diameter. 5,000 feet underground! When this is complete, it will be divided into a full 500 levels!"
"What's even more surprising is that these 500 floors will be connected randomly by a temporary floo network constructed by Principal Dumbledore himself, forming an unprecedented underground tower!"
"What all the warriors have to do is to randomly teleport to one of the floors through the entrance that will be placed on the ground, and find the entrance to the correct floor, and obtain the mysterious magic item that is the Triwizard Cup!"
"In each floor, there is a completely different kind of obstacle. But don't panic, they are all kinds of puzzles thought up by teachers and students from the three schools... that is, our classmates and professors! I believe that It’s going to be a lot of fun…”
Under Bagman's extremely intense and passionate explanation, everyone had a rough idea of the level they would face in a month.
"Do you have any more questions?" Bagman asked. Seeing everyone shaking their heads, he continued, "Very good... If you don't have any questions, let's go back to the castle, okay? I'm still not doing much lately. Warm, it’s really a bit cold here…”
On the way back, Harry couldn't help but reach out and pat Maka on the shoulder.
"Hey! Maka," he said, "What are you thinking about? You didn't seem to be listening just now?"
"Huh? No, it's nothing... just some research problems..." Maka replied casually.
With the rule rune guidance table at the back of the "Book of Sin", he has made considerable progress in understanding the rule runes. But the deeper he understood it, the more he understood how difficult it would be to make such a table.
As a Muggle once said, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.
Only now did he slightly understand how many mysteries were contained in the three-dimensional array of runes floating around his "future self" that he saw that night.
As soon as he returned to Snape's office, he opened the cauldron to see how the potion was brewing, and then continued to sit in the corner and read the "Book of Sins."
Voldemort has recently returned, and today, Snape needs to go over temporarily to report on the situation. Including Dumbledore's affairs, including the progress of the Triwizard Tournament, and of course the situation related to him, Maca McClain.
Barty Crouch Jr. was removed from Hogwarts by Maka. Now within the school, only Snape can pass "reliable" information to him.
It was late in the evening when Snape finally returned to his office.
"McLean, get ready, Voldemort is going to meet you tonight." Snape said to Maka with his dead fish eyes still open.
"Is he trying to settle a score with me?" Maka looked up from the book and smiled.
"Maybe..." Snape sat down on the armchair and said impatiently, "His current situation is a bit strange... I can't explain it clearly, but it's not the same as the Dark Lord before."
Maka nodded and said: "As long as he doesn't dare to take the initiative, it means that his situation is not good... Well, let's go meet him tonight and see what big things he plans to do when he comes back this time." action."
"...Are you sure? I think..."
Snape thought for a while and was about to ask Maka what she was prepared for when he heard a rapid knock on the door of the office.
"Is it her again?" Snape said irritably, "McLean, can you stop her from running here all the time? When you were not here, she went around rummaging through my medicine cabinet. It's really..."
"Uh... I'll think of another way..."
Maka waved her hand helplessly, then stretched out her wand and pointed at the office door, and the door opened in response.
"McLean! Leni is hungry! Come and let Leni take a bite!"
That's right, a naughty kid came to Hogwarts recently... No, it's a wolf kid!
Under Dumbledore's arrangement, Leni and Lena were successfully admitted to Hogwarts and became two young wizards with werewolf blood.
Of course, their ancestry is still kept secret.
The person responsible for taking care of them is naturally Maka, the instigator. Although Maka himself is not very happy, Dumbledore said a lot.
"Since you left them with nowhere to go, you have to take responsibility, don't you?"
What you always say makes sense!
Maka, who originally planned to let Dumbledore, who was overflowing with love, take on these two small pots, suffered the consequences, but finally took over this troublesome matter.
But who knows, my sister Lena is easy to deal with, she is sensible and obedient, and she never runs around. But the younger sister, who is only a few years younger than her elder sister, seems to be turning the entire Hogwarts castle upside down, running around every now and then.
Maka thought she had somewhat frightened Leni! The results of it? If you don't fight for three days, I will dare to cause trouble for you all over the world...
"Little Ancestor, what are you doing here? Don't you go to the kitchen and help yourself when you're hungry?" Maka said weakly.
"The house elves are too skinny! They are skinny and bones, how can anyone be so delicious!" Leni grabbed Maka's arm and said loudly with a pout.
"Still thinking about eating people?" Maka patted her on the head and said angrily, "Follow me to the kitchen later. Eat whatever you want. Do you hear me?"
"I don't want to!" Leni stared at her big watery eyes and made a fuss.
Maka looked at her with empty eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a spider crawled out of his sleeve.
"Keep making trouble again? He'll eat you next time!"
After that night, the little girl quickly returned to her usual fearless appearance, but now she was most afraid of spiders.
As soon as she saw the little Acromantula crawling around on Maka's hand, Leni immediately shrank her head and didn't dare to say a word.
"It's okay if you know you're afraid. Just wait outside." Maka waved her hand.
When Leni lowered her head and ran to the corridor outside, he turned back and sighed softly.
"... It seems that I can keep some spiders in my office." Snape said angrily.
"Not a bad idea..." Maka agreed, "To be honest, these days I feel like I have an extra child who is making mischief everywhere... Oh, it's not easy for every father!"
Snape glanced at him and replied coldly: "Congratulations."
Only then did Maka react - oh, she complained casually and accidentally hit Snape's sore spot!
"When I have a child in the future, how about you, Professor, be his godfather?" Maka said with a smile.
Snape clicked his tongue in annoyance, and said sarcastically without raising his eyelids: "Your child? With that little girl from the Lovegood family? Or with Miss Know-It-All? Oh, or... you plan to give yourself away Go to Chateau Blois in France and seek to seize the endless property of the owner of Chateau Blois?”
Maka was so choked by Snape's words that she almost couldn't speak. She had no choice but to roll her eyes.
"Professor, actually... among the other female professors working at Hogwarts, there are also some who are very suitable for you." Maka said quietly, picking up the cup of black tea placed next to her.
"Huh?" Snape looked at him expressionlessly and said, "What, are you going to introduce your Professor McGonagall to me?"
"Pfft..."
The mouthful of black tea that had just been poured into his mouth spurted towards Snape, but he blocked it with a wave of his wand in time.
"Professor..." Maka wiped her mouth and took a deep breath and said, "I suddenly feel that it makes sense for you to have no friends..."
"Hmph!" Snape said nonchalantly, "It was because Potter couldn't defeat me back then—"
Having said this, he immediately realized what he was talking about and subconsciously stopped talking, and then his face became gloomy.
"It's time for you to go, McClane... meet me at the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade at nine o'clock in the evening."
After saying that, Snape waved his hand with a cold face, signaling Maka to get out of here quickly.
Maka shrugged, shook her head slightly, turned and walked towards the door. But when he walked outside the door and was about to close it, he poked his head in.
"Professor, I will only love one girl all my life, and that is Miss Lovegood." He said seriously, "And you are my teacher and my friend... If I want to find a godfather for my child, I believe Only you are the most qualified."
After saying that, the door to the office closed quietly, leaving Snape staring blankly at the closed door, wondering what he was thinking.
In the corridor, Leni giggled as if she heard something funny.
"Love for a lifetime? Just you? Hahaha..." She smiled, "Quick, take me to see your girlfriend... Hahahaha..."
"What are you laughing laughing."
Maka aimed it at her head again, and then she couldn't help but chuckle.
He didn't know why he would say that to Snape. Although he knew that being friends with Snape was beneficial and harmless, he would not let him say such words.
Maka is also a human being, and now that she has regained her emotions, she is even more human. And he sometimes behaves impulsively that he doesn't even understand.
"...Perhaps, Snape and I have similar personalities," the smile on his face gradually became heavier, and he murmured to himself, "Well, it's like... I've lost everything?"
